dispatch from Rome to the Sun sass the
present from President Cleveland TO the
Pope arrived last night. The present is a
copy OF the United States Constitution,
beautifully engroSscd and richly bound in
book form. II was forwarded to Rome

highly of its merit as a specimen Of what
Americans can do in that line, but the
greatest praise it has created is given the
President for the simplicity of his gift.

Dismissed Employees Become Disorderly-
Report of Chief Constructor Wilson
The New War Vessels.
WASHINGTON, December 20 -Au eve
ming paper says: 4 riot was narrowly
averted at the navy yard yesterday, and
something serious might have occurred had
not disciplined armed force been on the
ground. At close Of the work on the ex-
cavation for the new ordnance foundry,
Superintendent Pughley announced the
names OF sixty men whose services
would no longer be required. This an
nouncement, coming rs it did, just before
Christmas, was followed by an excit-
ing scene participated in by the discharged
employees. They shouted ont against such
treatment, and threats OF violence were
made. The approach of an armed body Of
marines, which had been summoned, sue
ceeded in bringing the disturbance to an
end.
The annual report Of the Chief Naval
Constructor, Wilson, has just been received
from the Government Printer. 1t is ex-
pected to be of value to persons interested
in naval matters, for the reason that 1t
contains new feature in these reports IN
the shape of thorough descriptive articles
upon all of the recent additions to the
naval fleet, accompanied by q number OF
illustrations and sectional plans.
Reports to the Navy Department from
the New York and Norfolk navy yards,
where preparations are making to build
the great 6,OOO-ton armored war ships, are
highly satisfactory. At New York the
keel blocks for the armored cruiser have
been placed and the ship is being laid
down. The new buildings are nearly COM
pleted, and will be ready to receive the
machine tools when they are procured.
Advertisements for supplying the new
plant have already been issued, and the
proposals will be opened on the 10th Of
next month. Good progress has also been
made at Norfolk, and as the schedules for
the additional machine plant have not yet
been Published, there will he ample time
to finish the buildings intended for its re-
ception before the tools can be purchased.

night, and landed Seaman Borden Man.

of the crew of the schooner Mary p. Col.
Inns, of Philadelphia. Captain Torrey re.
ports while in latitude 80 degrees 10 min
utes, longitude II degrees, 40 minutes,
while lie was hove to in severe gale, saw
the schooner above mentioned, hove 10 and
showing signals Of distress. Although the
sea was running mountains high, Captain
Torrey, with great difficulty, launched
a boat and went to the relief of the vessel.
With the wind blowing gale it required
great effort to keep his frail boat siloat,
but he was making n most des
desperate effort to succor human life, and
with his gallant crew neryed themselves
for the task before them, only thinking Of
their imperilled brethren. Inch by inch
they gained on the sinking vessel, and
would have soon been alongside, but fate
decreed otherwise, for when almost within
reach the Mary c. Collins lurched to the
starboard and sank, taking down the
captain and five of the crew. Man
chester was found ahoat on plank
and WAS taken aboard the Moseley. Man
chester SAYS: The Mary q. Collins left
Norfolk with cargo Of $50 tons of coal,
bound for Somerset On December Is; she
left Hampton Roads and experienced ordi-
nary weather, until one week ago, when n
gale that amounted to hurricane set in.
The vessel became almost uDmanageable
Soon the schooner began TO leak badly, and
the men were constantly at the pumps
until nearly exhausted. The water con-
stantly gained on them, despite their
efforts, and the result above stated was
inevitable.
